With a good win last Sunday in a friendly against Berkshire division 1 side Reading Abbey, our development squad take on Berkshire division 2 side Tadley this Sunday. Correct me if I'm wrong but it's a team we have not played before.

The squad to play has already gone out on Teamer, so please respond with your availabilities. Keep fingers crossed because we might see Jack Messenger back for a one-off appearance if he has a break in his cross-country schedule.

We have Tom O'Connor making a guest coach appearance at Thursday night's training, hoping to address some of the rucking which has been at times sluggish of late, also to take our line out through some new moves.

Don't forget you're in number 1's before and after the game, and to change at Eggar's school ready to warm up by 10:00am.
